The Goat Pen

yahoo had a story on it a couple of weeks ago

Media whore.

I was looking at that website celebrity net worth (which I think he makes up about half of them) and somehow her name came up with like $3 billion listed as her net worth and I was like "WTF?", so I investigated further. Of course, there's no way to know what her portion of the fambly fortune is, but irregardless, the fambly fortune itself is substantial, to say the least...

I've read that before. She's got French Jew bloodlines, the latter of which made her eligible as a Seinfeld cast member.

She was never that funny on SNL as a cast member, IMO. I'm not a big fan of VEEP either. It's too smarmy. Silicon Valley, OTOH, is about the funniest show I've seen in a while.

She was pretty hot back in her SNL days. There was one skit where she was in lingerie and she was looking good son

She's actually held up well. I saw her about 4 or 5 years ago on Fifth Ave. She looked good for her age...and natural. No work done.

On another note, I'm proud of the partisan hacks on here for not getting involved in all the Benghazi chirping. But still...

Amen.

Per the article, you also had a President who took the blame himself, and not deflect.

Yeah, it really sounds like the Gipper took one for the team on this one. Or rather these (as in multiple) ones:

"In September of 1984, for the third time in eighteen months, jihadists bombed a U.S. government outpost in Beirut yet again. President Reagan acknowledged that the new security precautions that had been advocated by Congress hadn’t yet been implemented at the U.S. embassy annex that had been hit. The problem, the President admitted, was that the repairs hadn’t quite been completed on time. As he put it, “Anyone who’s ever had their kitchen done over knows that it never gets done as soon as you wish it would.”

I'm glad Reagan, after 2 bombings and hundreds killed, put such a high priority on improving security in the actual zone of the said two previous bombings. I guess he was too busy selling arms under the table to the Contras in Nicaragua...

Which ones of us are the partisan hacks?

I'm a hack, but generally non-partisan. I think of myself as an independent conhacktor.

Reagan did what any president should - he realized the futility of having our troops in the middle east and got their ass out of there.

What about the halls of Montezuma? The shores of Tripoli??

did he star in those movies?

I prefer when people go the self-reporting route, but there is a religious, Coulter quoting nut and a flag waver that immediately come to mind.

eCat?

I do have a snowman flag that I put out like 3 winters ago on the side of my house. The bolt that holds it rusted so I just leave it there year round now. Its faded pink. I tell people its a flower when its spring and summer

The only real mistake the admin made in that Libya situation was trying to blame it on the natives fury over that ridiculous Mohammad movie. That was a pretty awful lie. Transparent lies always cause more problems than just admitting the mistake up front. People never seem to understand that.

Flag waver!
